**** Additional requirements for the French major are:

These guidelines indicate the general areas covered by the proficiency tests and the dates on which tests are scheduled for the academic year. Students will normally take the tests for diagnostic purposes during the second semester of the junior year and may repeat the tests during their senior year.
- A period of at least one month of residency in a French-speaking country or in a French immersion program. Students may participate in a University-sponsored summer program, an ISEP semester or year abroad, a program of an accredited college, an internship, or other approved activity. All language students are urged to work closely with the Institute of International Studies to explore available programs and financial resources. Students with special circumstances may petition to have an alternative immersion experience approved for this requirement. Credit earned may be applied to the major or may count as general electives.
